I've been a match goer for 32 years and have yet to see a decent corner
Silva's attitude to City and football in general is great.....some extracts from his interview with Marca newspaper in Spain in the last couple of days.
''On Puyol he said: "He has been a role model as both a player and a person. You can only admire his work ethic and sacrifice. It would be a shame (if he retired), I hope he keeps on playing as long as possible".
About the upcoming World Cup: "The Confederations Cup was a wake-up call ahead of the World Cup. We have to improve things".
On Manchester City: "It is incredible at City. When I arrived it was a club that was on the fringes of the Champions League and had not won a trophy in years, and now we are among the big clubs. We have made great advances".
On the war of words between Mourinho and Pellegrini he had this to say: "I don't pay attention to Mourinho, I am more worried about what my coach says. Pellegrini is a very clever coach; he keeps players calm and gives them lots of confidence. He has a very good football philosophy, he is very attacking. We have broken a Premiership record with our goals and that is a reflection of his work".
About the Champions League clash with Barça he said: "We know that we are going away to Barcelona and that is very difficult but you can't rule anything out. We have a good side".
On his own future he added: "I am very happy at City. I have been there four years and I have three more. At the moment I want to complete that contract".

I love the way he lets the ball roll across him as he turns. His turn is like a first touch. Genius footballer, definitely our best for me.

Did Joleoninho or Vinny bullet the ball into the net?

Vinny for one, dzeko for the other. Did he take the one for lescott's goal against villa as well?

As I said on another thread some time back, he almost never gets caught in possession. And that's not true of anyone else you can think of in the team (although Ferny doesn't often get caught out). Time and time again, he receives the ball, and manages to get it to a blue shirt, however briefly or long he holds it for. That's invaluable, and that's why I fear that some very big fish like Barca is going to come after him for ridiculous money, sooner or later. I do fear it. Because he cannot be replaced by anyone that I can think of in world football, given his still relatively young age.
